Guest guest Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 >>Any advice would be greatly appreciated.<< PRAY your labs keep being this good (as far as you are concerned they are good!) so this doctor that obviously doesn't trust Armour will continue to increase your dosage. Sounds like she is LOOKING for a reason to tell you it is NOT OK. Scary, but as long as she is increasing you and you are feeling better... GO FOR IT!!! *Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WV Fat cat?

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 I am curious how long had you been on 1.5 of Armour when these labs were drawn? *Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WV Fat cat?

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 I actually think I kind of screwed up the lab readings because for the first week I was on 1.5 and was feeling a little bit better so I went up to 2.5 for 2 weeks and was feeling WONDERFUL, energy, losing weight, and all that good stuff but thought I should try and get accurate labs so for the last 4 weeks I went back down to my normal dose. I don't know if that caused it to do that but this time I am staying on the dose to make sure everything is good. Depending on what I hear back from a different doc though, I may be changing docs and getting better treatment. > I am curious how long had you been on 1.5 of Armour when these labs were drawn? > *Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WV > Fat cat?

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 I know, she was like " there is a slight tremor, are you sure you haven't had heart palps?
